This is a new book by renowned art historian and academician Alexander Klavdianovich Yakimovich. This time—under his supervision and with the help of his interpretations—famous philosophers, including Montaigne, Descartes, Hobbes, Kant, Hegel, Freud, Taine, Weber, Bergson, and others, discuss art and the methods and approaches to understanding it. Interpreting the main trends in modern art is especially important for young readers if they want to bring some order to their perceptions of not only traditional cultural phenomena but also contemporary radical trends. Bold violations of the norms and rules of "high art" have arisen and stirred public interest since the 14th century, and today, the situation deserves special attention, for, as Friedrich Nietzsche said, "no one can any longer rest easy in the firm conviction that the world is secure." This book is addressed to art historians, cultural studies scholars, historians, art students, and the general public.
